Inkscape

Hi bulia, Joshua, and all:

I apologize for my delay in replying to your messages.  I 
just got back from the UIST conference, where I met many UI 
researchers -- and fellow Inkscape users.

Thanks for your enthusiasm about the undo-saving feature!  
We would like to release the code for this for all the 
reasons you mentioned: to comply with the GPL, to get users 
across platforms, and ultimately to contribute to the 
Inkscape project.  [We'd also welcome help identifying and 
fixing bugs. :)] What is the best way to do this?  As the 
number of files touched is small, perhaps the fastest is to 
post these on our website, then work on adding the changes 
to the SVN trunk.  Thanks for your invitation to do so.

Sara

Yes, I think the best is to post the initial patch for our review, and once it's accepted, we will give SVN access to you so you can fix bugs, implement features, and generally improve the code directly. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

[Inkscape-devel] source code for persistent undo From: Sara Su <sarasu@cs...> - 2007-10-16 20:34 On Sat, 13 Oct 2007, bulia byak wrote: > Yes, I think the best is to post the initial patch for our review, and > once it's accepted, we will give SVN access to you so you can fix > bugs, implement features, and generally improve the code directly. Hi, I've posted the source (and diff files) for the persistent undo (undo saving) feature on our website: http://people.csail.mit.edu/sarasu/history The serializer/deserializer borrows heavily from the existing whiteboard code by David Yip. Thanks to David and other authors for allowing us to build on their contribution. Please remember that our code was written for research use, and we realize that it requires much clean-up before release. I'm posting it now in response to requests but hope to add a cleaner version to the trunk in the future. Please use this version at your own risk! Again, if you have downloaded the .exe, we'd love to receive your history files to help us improve the design. Thanks! Sara

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-user] source code for persistent undo From: Joshua Blocher <verbalshadow@gm...> - 2007-10-16 23:10 Sara, Thank you for release this I glad to be able to try this out. I'm not sure who is going to handle the review be i'm willing to help. As long as the patch is not a huge mess it will most likely be merge and small things like style might have to be fixed but then you will be able to make those changes in trunk. Thank you again.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] source code for persistent undo From: Sara Su <sarasu@cs...> - 2007-10-18 18:14 Hi Joshua, Thanks for offering to help with the review. I'm new to this patch and review process, so I hope the files I submitted are sufficient to get the ball rolling. If not, please let me know.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] source code for persistent undo From: Joshua Blocher <verbalshadow@gm...> - 2007-10-18 19:00 Sara, Sorry for not being quicker with looking at it. I tried to open the archive a couple of times after repeatedly downloading it, and all it fails to open saying it does not appear to be a valid tar file or unknown type. I could just be my terrible internet connection, but could you please send me the file. Thanks, Joshua L.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] source code for persistent undo From: Sara Su <sarasu@cs...> - 2007-10-18 19:14 Hmm... not sure what happened to corrupt the file, but I have posted a fresh tarball and will also send it you in the next message. Sorry about that.
